This is a breaking change, as NIST curves identifiers and values in
`enums.curves` have been renamed:
- the identifiers `enums.curve.p256`, `.p384`, `.p521` are now marked as
`@deprecated`
- the new identifiers are, respectively: `enums.curve.nistP256`, `.nistP384`,
`.nistP521`.
- the corresponding values have been changed from `'p256'`,`'p384'`,`'p521'` to
`'nistP256'`, `'nistP384'`, `'nistP521'`.
Affected high-level API functions:
- in `generateKey`, the `options.curve` argument will expect the updated string
values
- `Key.getAlgorithmInfo()` will return the updated `curve` values
This special cipher value can be relevant for unencrypted private keys:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#section-12.2.1 .
However, it is no longer used internally, and on the contrary it could cause
confusion on SKESK decryption, where "random" cipher algos are returned in case
of wrong password.
This change also fixes a flaky test on password-based decryption, caused by the
PKESK v6 changes which add support for `null` cipher algos. The code did not
distinguish between a `null` and a `0` (plaintext) algo identifier, and would
break when the latter was returned on SKESK decryption.
This subpacket replaces both symmetric algorithm preferences and
AEAD algorithm preferences when AEAD is supported, by providing
sets of preferred symmetric and AEAD algorithm pairs.
We still keep the symmetric algorithm preferences in case AEAD is
not supported.
The AEAD Encrypted Data packet has been removed from the draft
in favor of version 2 of the Sym. Encrypted Integrity Protected
Data packet. It also has a new feature flag to match.
In terms of API, this feature is backwards compatible, no breaking changes.
However, since a Wasm module is loaded for the Argon2 computation, browser apps
might need to make changes to their CSP policy in order to use the feature.
Newly introduced config fields:
- `config.s2kType` (defaulting to `enums.s2k.iterated`): s2k to use on
password-based encryption as well as private key encryption;
- `config.s2kArgon2Params` (defaulting to "uniformly safe settings" from Argon
RFC): parameters to use on encryption when `config.s2kType` is set to
`enums.s2k.argon2`;
Set to replace `enums.curve.ed25519` (resp. `.curve25519`), which can still be used everywhere,
but it will be dropped in v6.
Deprecation notices have been added to ease transition.
Set to replace `enums.publicKey.eddsa`, which can still be used everywhere,
but it will be dropped in v6.
Deprecation notices have been added to ease transition.
As specified in openpgp-crypto-refresh-09.
Instead of encoding the symmetric key algorithm in the PKESK ciphertext (requiring padding),
the symmetric key algorithm is left unencrypted.

In several packet classes, we used to store string identifiers for public-key,
aead, cipher or hash algorithms. To make the code consistent and to avoid
having to convert to/from string values, we now always store integer values
instead, e.g. `enums.symmetric.aes128` is used instead of `'aes128'`.
This is not expected to be a breaking change for most library users. Note that
the type of `Key.getAlgorithmInfo()` and of the session key objects returned
and accepted by top-level functions remain unchanged.
Affected classes (type changes for some properties and method's arguments):
- `PublicKeyPacket`, `PublicSubkeyPacket`, `SecretKeyPacket`,
`SecretSubkeyPacket`
- `SymEncryptedIntegrityProtectedDataPacket`, `AEADEncryptedDataPacket`,
`SymmetricallyEncryptedDataPacket`
- `LiteralDataPacket`, `CompressedDataPacket`
- `PublicKeyEncryptedSessionKey`, `SymEncryptedSessionKeyPacket`
- `SignaturePacket`
Other potentially breaking changes:
- Removed property `AEADEncryptedDataPacket.aeadAlgo`, since it was redudant
given `.aeadAlgorithm`.
- Renamed `AEADEncryptedDataPacket.cipherAlgo` -> `.cipherAlgorithm`
- Use PascalCase for classes, with uppercase acronyms.
- Use camelCase for function and variables. First word/acronym is always
lowercase, otherwise acronyms are uppercase.
Also, make the packet classes' `tag` properties `static`.
Also, switch from returning false to throwing errors in most verify*()
functions, as well as in `await signatures[*].verified`, in order to be
able to show more informative error messages.
There are dozens of links in the OpenPGP.js codebase that are http but
could be replaced with https links. I've converted as many of them as
i could find.
* Various FIXME tags are removed
* In curve.js:
- webCrypto/nodeCrypto fallback bug is fixed
- Curve25519 has keyType ecdsa (won't be used for signing, but technically can be)
- webGenKeyPair is simplifed
* In base64.js:
- documentation added and arguments simplified
* In ecdsa.js and eddsa.js:
- hash_algo is now at least as strong as the default curve hash
- simplified the code by moving webSign/nodeSign and webVerify/nodeVerify to live in key.js (ht @ismaelbej)
* In message.js:
- in decryptSessionKey, loops break once a key packet is decrypted
* In key.js:
- getPreferredHashAlgorithm returns the best hash algorithm
- enums are used for curve selection
